With the accelerated development of urbanization and the change of family structure caused by the decrease of the number of children,the function of family endowment is weakened,and the phenomenon of the solitary living of the urban elderly population has become the norm.As a kind of special group in the old age group,the old people living alone in the city they are the most lonely part of the Empty Nest,and the number of people in recent years has been increasing,most of them because of the loss of their spouses,children and other reasons such as living alone,with the increase in age,solitary elderly diseases increase,self-care ability decline,social contact reduction,They are more prone to loneliness than the ordinary elderly,showing the lack of spiritual comfort and other problems,its spiritual satisfaction has more urgent needs,the weak position is further highlighted.Therefore,how to meet the needs of the spiritual comfort of the elderly living alone,and effectively improve the life satisfaction of the elderly living alone is of great significance for our country to survive the aging crisis and realize the harmonious development of society.From the perspective of social work,this study tries to provide case service for the elderly living alone with the perspective of social work from the perspective of social work,so as to better meet their spiritual comfort needs and enable them to enjoy their later life.First of all,we use interview and observation to establish a professional relationship of mutual trust with the elderly living alone,in order to understand the problems and needs of solace.On the basis of grasping the spiritual needs of the elderly living alone,social workers assist them to review the whole life course.In the process of review,the social workers find and understand that some lonely elderly people have no place in the life course.Through the reinterpretation of these problems,the negative emotions of the solitary old man can be relieved and the old man's self cognition is changed.In the behavior training stage,the social worker can enrich the daily life of the solitary old man by digging the potential of the old man living alone,so that the old man can spend his later years more actively.In addition,in order to improve the adaptability of the old people to the environment,the social workers canimprove the social support network of the family and the community by helping the old people living alone,so that the old people can get more comprehensive mental care and better realize their spiritual comfort.Life review therapy is different from nostalgia therapy.Life review therapy pays more attention to the positive and negative events in the life course of the elderly.On the one hand,the elderly living alone review their personal life struggles through a complete review of the past life.It can regain the self-confidence and optimism of the past to face the present situation,and the study found that this process has positive significance in promoting self-identity and avoiding the sense of loss and boredom in old life.On the other hand,in the process of looking back on the life of the elderly,there are some unchangeable sad events to be reexplained,to help the old man to relax some ideas selectively,so that he can understand the past life.Some of these crises affect the present behavior or emotion,and help the elderly to think and plan their future life,so as to accept and integrate their own life,and actively adapt to a life that belongs to "me" rather than "us",thus stepping into a new stage of life.
